Volvo P1800 Cyan Racing review | Amazing restomod tested




Autocar


Spoiler alert: the Volvo P1800 Cyan Racing is a wonderful thing.
Cyan Racing, the Swedish racing team that is Volvo's official race partner, has taken an old Volvo P1800 coupe and turned it into something brilliant. There's not much original P1800 left. Cyan takes a few bits of the structure and rebuilds an entire car around it, including a 2.0-lire 414bhp turbocharged engine, double-wishbone suspension all around and plenty of carbon fibre.
The result is a car that costs nearly £400,000 and weighs just 990kg. Cyan doesn't quote 0-60mph numbers of a top speed, but given the P1800 Cyan has no driver aids and a manual gearbox, we reckon it'll hit 60mph in under 5.0seconds and go on to 170mph.
Watch on to see what Matt Prior thinks of this fabulously-constructed restomod.

Volvo P1800 Restomod By Cyan Racing: Road Review | Carfection 4K

The Volvo P1800 is one of our favourite classic cars and Cyan Racing has taken it and built this gorgeous restomod. Henry Catchpole took it out for a spin to see if it drives as good as it looks.

Volvo P1800 Cyan Restomod













The cabin remains faithful to the classic P1800 but now features a pair of bucket seats with racing harnesses and a leather-wrapped titanium roll cage. The dashboard is also wrapped in black leather and what looks like fabric, the steering wheel is the ever-gorgeous Momo Prototipo and the gauges are new and bespoke for the P1800 Cyan.

The Volvo P1800 Cyan offers a simple but very beautiful environment to the driver, making little effort to hide its race-car vibe. “We have focused on creating an interior that reflects the car décor of the sixties in a modern version. We have kept the clean and driver-oriented interior of the original car, carefully moving it forward with modern materials and technology,” said Ola Granlund, Head of Design at Cyan Racing.

Weighing in at under a ton

The chassis has been completely reengineered by Cyan to make it properly rigid with the strategic use of high-strength steel while the bodywork is made out of carbon fiber. Cyan added a rack and pinion steering instead of the original steering box, lightweight aluminum uprights, double wishbones, two-way adjustable dampers with Cyan hydraulics, and an independent rear suspension. The result is a two-door coupe that tips the scales at 990 kg (2,182 lbs), which is pretty insane.

Lift the bonnet and you’ll find the same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine as used in the title-winning Volvo S60 TC1 race car. Cyan updated the unit for a more linear operation and has paired it to a bespoke dog-leg five-speed manual transmission from Hollinger. The power output is rated at 413 HP (419 PS) and 335 lb-ft (455 Nm) of torque.

“The engine is designed for high revs, with the torque intuitively linear to the pedal. We have learned from racing where the drivers want perfect control of the torque, increasing precision and driving pleasure at the same time,” said Mattias Evensson, Project Manager and Head of Engineering at Cyan Racing.

Sticker shocker

Cyan Racing will build the restomod Volvo P1800 in very limited numbers. Prices start at around $500,000, which is no doubt, a huge amount of money, but then again, this is no ordinary build.

Singer ACS




At the request of a long-term client, Singer has looked to a golden era of Porsche rallying in the 1980s, and to automotive heroes including the 911 SC/RS and 959, to reimagine his air-cooled 911s as World Rally Championship-inspired, all-terrain competition machines.

Singer’s latest services will enable their clients to go off-road racing, with a Porsche 911 modified by Singer for all-terrain use.

The All-terrain Competition Study has been undertaken by Singer, in partnership with renowned 911 rally specialist Richard Tuthill, in response to the request from their client for modifications to his air-cooled Porsche 911 that would enable the car to compete in off-road racing and to demonstrate extensive all-terrain exploration capabilities. To highlight the broad repertoire of the ACS, the client has commissioned two machines, one - in Singer’s iconic Parallax White - focused on high-speed desert rallying and a second – in Corsica Red - configured for high-speed, high-grip tarmac events and disciplines.

Porsche 911s prepared by UK-based off-road competition specialist Richard Tuthill have dominated rally events for decades, with recent victory in the 2019 East African Safari Classic marking a remarkable 4th win in the grueling 5000km event across Kenya and Tanzania. These successes sit alongside deep expertise from the world of WRC competition and events such as the Paris-Dakar.

Frozen Lake Shredding in a Safari-Spec Porsche 911 with Kelly-Moss!


•9 jun 2020


Hoonigan AutoFocus

You tend to see Porsches in one of two places: on a road course, or fully polished up in a parking lot/driveway/etc. But the fine folks at Kelly-Moss see much more potential behind this time-proven platform, which means their rear-engined German machines are made to shred on all surfaces. Including gravel and snow. But the best part? This 911 Safari TX is just as good inside as out, with next-level interior build quality and modern updates.

 

This $600,000+ Singer-Customized 911 Is the Ultimate Vintage Porsche 964




Gear Patrol
Motoring editor Will Sabel Courtney spent a day with one of the most coveted vehicles on the planet: a vintage Porsche 911 re-imagined by the customization firm Singer Vehicle Designs. Singer's custom creations are completely bespoke, made entirely to each owner's individual preferences.

Singer ACS: el Porsche 911 Safari definitivo es arte sobre ruedas

A estas alturas de la película, Singer y sus restomod basados en los Porsche 911 (964) no necesitan presentación. Pero su nuevo proyecto eleva a la enésima potencia todo lo que habíamos visto a la fecha. En colaboración con Tuthill Porsche - empresa británica puntera en preparaciones de rallye para Porsche 911 - han desarrollado y construido el Singer ACS. ACS significa All-Terrain Competition Study, y es lo más cercano al Porsche 959 que compitió en el Dakar a mediados de los ochenta. Es el coche más especial que hemos visto en meses y meses.

Como siempre ocurre con los restomods de Singer, la atención enfermiza al detalle y las soluciones de ingeniería aplicadas en su construcción nos dejan anonadados. Ya ocurrió con el excelso Singer DLS desarrollado junto a Williams Engineering, y vuelve a ocurrir con el ACS. Este coche es un encargo de uno de los clientes más especiales de Singer, y promete convertirse en una colaboración muy fructífera si hay interés en este tipo de vehículos - el "si" no debería ser un condicional en esta frase. ¿Cuál es la filosofía del Singer ACS?







Es la de un coche absolutamente eficaz en conducción todoterreno a alta velocidad, un coche con el que aventurarse en larguísimas excursiones lejos del asfalto. Un coche diseñado para ser pilotado, no conducido. Un coche capaz de resistir abusos de todo tipo, pero al mismo tiempo, representar la más absoluta excelencia en calidad de construcción, soluciones de ingeniería y atención al detalle. Como siempre en Singer, la base de este coche es un "sencillo" Porsche 911 de tercera generación. Un 964, hablando en el argot de Porsche.

Del coche original se conserva poco más que la forma del habitáculo, algunas piezas del chasis y la mecánica bóxer refrigerada por aire. El resto es una obra de arte e ingeniería fabricada desde cero. Los paneles de su carrocería están construidos en fibra de carbono, son fácilmente desmontables y transforman completamente el aspecto del coche. No solo es monstruosamente ancho y agresivo, combina este carácter rudo con una espectacular reinterpretación del diseño del Porsche 959 que corrió el Dakar en los años 1985 y 1986.



Se han creado dos coches, uno de ellos más orientado a eventos de asfalto, y otro, a eventos 100% off-road.
Es especialmente patente en la forma del alerón, que rodea completamente la parte trasera del coche. Mención aparte merecen sus gigantescos guardabarros de goma, su coqueto escape, su difusor de fibra de carbono o sus llantas forjadas de 16 pulgadas, calzadas con enormes neumáticos todoterreno de BF Goodrich. Todo el tren de rodaje del coche ha sido diseñado con la máxima eficacia off-road en mente y ha sido diseñado desde cero. A sus subchasis tubulares se anclan dos amortiguadores por recorrido, con más de 25 cm de recorrido de suspensión.

La suspensión es independiente de horquilla doble, y se han instalado frenos de acero ventilados para la mayor eficacia posible. El sistema 4x4 del coche ha sido desarrollado por Tuthill Porsche y no se parece en nada al de ningún otro Porsche 911. Está acoplado a una caja de cambios secuencial de cinco relaciones, que el piloto puede cambiar mediante una palanca o levas tras el volante. Se ha instalado un freno de mano hidráulico para poder derrapar con facilidad y permitir un grado extra de control. Y aún no hemos hablado del motor.



Incluso la parte interior de los paneles de carrocería es un homenaje a la librea de Rothmans de los 959 de competición.
Como claro homenaje al Porsche 959, estamos hablando de una mecánica Metzger de 3,6 litros y refrigeración por aire, sobrealimentada por dos turbocompresores. Sus mariposas de admisión se controlan de forma electrónica, y "beben" aire de una preciosa admisión esculpida en fibra de carbono. Este puntiguado motor desarrolla 450 CV de potencia, pero tiene recorrido para desarrollar mucha más potencia, según Tuthill Porsche. No podemos pasar por alto el habitáculo: espartano y funcional, pero con una extrema atención por las cosas pequeñas.

La instrumentación es digital, y cuenta con una pantalla para facilitar la navegación al copiloto. Los baquets son específicos, así como lo es el el volante, de precioso diseño. Aun imperando la función sobre la forma, Tuthill y Singer han incluido materiales de acabado perfecto y toques de color que indican que esto es mucho más que un coche de carreras. En resumen, es un coche ante el que todo petrolhead debería quitarse el sombrero y hacerle reverencias. Un coche que soñamos pilotar en una playa o un desierto.



Si tienes que preguntar el precio... no es tu coche.

 

This Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer is a sensational bespoke sports car, boasting a wonderfully well-judged specification, as well as a number of desirable upgrades. It is powered by the optional 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six built by Ed Pink Racing Engines, producing 390hp and 315lb-ft of torque, which drives the rear wheels through a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission. The odometer indicates 1,100 miles since the build was completed.



For those less familiar with Singer Vehicle Design, the process of creating one of these masterpieces starts with sourcing a solid, accident-free Porsche 964 donor with a straight chassis. The car is stripped down to the monocoque, which is media-blasted and strengthened, and is then built back up using carbon-fibre body panels, and refinished to a unique specification. Every detail is carefully considered, and Singer is now renowned as having developed the finest interpretation of the ‘race-bred, road-mannered’ air-cooled Porsche 911. Performance from the 4.0-litre motor is incredible; capable of launching the 911 from 0-60mph in just 3.3 seconds, or from 0-100mph in just 8.2 seconds.



This particular Singer uses the chassis of a UK-market 964 Carrera 2 that was first registered in April 1990. The 964 was still in active use in early 2014, and there is an MOT test on record from January that year showing it passed with no advisories - a testament to the impressive condition of the donor car.



Between January 2015 and July 2015, the build was carried out at Singer’s Los Angeles workshop, and it was back in the UK by Christmas 2015 with its first owner post-restoration. In June 2016, the car was revealed to the world at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and it was kept by the commissioning owner for around four years, before being acquired by the current owner in June 2020.



Having been restored and strengthened, the monocoque chassis of this 911 has been clothed in carbon-fibre panels developed by the world-renowned advanced composites specialist Aria Group in California. The motorsport-specification carbon-fibre components include the front and rear wings, front and rear bumpers, the bonnet, engine lid and spoiler, and the roof. The doors remain fabricated in steel as they retain the side-impact safety beams.



The colour chosen for this 911 was Singer Racing White, which presents as a very light ivory hue, complemented by ‘ghosted’ Light Blue stripes around the bumpers and flanks, and with blue and black ‘Porsche’ motifs. It rides on a set of 17-inch Fuchs-style alloys, which have white nickel RSR-type wheel barrels and blue centre petals, and exposed brass-plated wheel bolt fixings. The wheels house the optional Brembo ‘big brake’ upgrade, including substantial Racing Red callipers.



Other cosmetic details include nickel-plated rear bumperettes, joining the other nickel-plated body trims, and the car features redesigned light housings with polycarbonate lenses and with Hella bi-xenon headlight units at the front. There are perforated aluminium hinges for both the bonnet and the engine deck lid, and this 911 also has the centre-fill fuel cap and fuel safety cell. Both the engine bay and luggage compartment are smartly trimmed in diamond-quilted blue leather.



In the cabin, this car was specified with the optional carbon-fibre lightweight track front seats, original style folding rear seats, and drilled floor boards and pedals. The upholstery is a combination of blue semi-suede and blue leather. The former adorns the seat bolsters, sill covers and kick panels, transmission tunnel, and the areas around the footwell. Elsewhere, the optional ‘leatherweave’ upgrade features an incredible woven finish in two-tone blue leather for the seat facings, door panels, rear quarter panels, and the dashboard insert. Black leather is used for the luggage shelf and dashboard top, while the gear lever and handbrake mountings, as well as the front seat backs, are finished in glossy Piano Black.



The remarkable interior specification is rounded off by an Ivory headlining, blue non-contrast stitching, blue carpets, and black rubber floor mats. There is a black ‘Reimagined’ motif on the dashboard trim strip, combined with a brass ‘Singer’ logo. Other fitted options include air-conditioning, iPod Connect, a black suede-trimmed Momo Prototipo steering wheel, and Carrera 3.2-style VDO instrument gauges. The central rev counter is finished in orange, and - in a fun nod to the famous Spinal Tap line - it reads all the way up to ‘11’.



All of the original 964 wiring was discarded as part of the rebuild, and in their place is a state-of-the-art MoTeC M1 series Engine Control Unit and dual MoTeC Power Distribution Modules (PDMs). Bosch components replace the entire fuse system, and the wiring harness and connections are custom-built military-grade units.



As well as the most powerful 4.0-litre 390hp engine, this Singer’s mechanical specification includes the optional sport suspension with sophisticated Öhlins dampers, as well as the servo-assisted Brembo ‘big brake’ upgrade derived from the 993 Turbo with 322mm drilled discs. As standard, all 911s Reimagined by Singer feature the superb 993-type steering rack in place of the stock 964 item.



The Singer-specification 4.0-litre flat-six developed by Ed Pink Racing Engines features a bespoke crankshaft, oil pump, custom Mahle pistons and cylinders, Carrillo con-rods, and Xtreme cylinder heads. Its ceramic intake plenum is coupled to custom throttle bodies, while at the exit side there is a lightweight exhaust with stainless steel headers, and with the complete system coated in matt titanium grey with polished tailpipe tips.



This car is fresh from a service carried out by Tuthill Porsche in June 2020 at approximately 800 miles, which comprised renewal of the engine oil and filter, gearbox oil, and the brake fluid. The most recent MOT test was on 22 June 2020 at 801 miles, which resulted in a first-time pass with no advisories or defects noted. All four wheels are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.



Driving one of the earliest Singers for Evo magazine in 2013, Richard Meaden summarised the car’s appeal by stating: “So convincing is the concept and so complete and cohesive the execution that this car oozes the right stuff with the same assurance as any Pagani Zonda or McLaren F1. What Singer does results in a car that transcends what you thought you knew about 911s to deliver a quite unique experience”.



The ‘Newcastle Commission’ by Singer is an incredible example of the car pitched as “the ultimate expression of the air-cooled Porsche 911”. While many have tried their own take on the ‘resto-mod’ 911, nothing comes close to the design, quality, and attention to detail of Rob Dickinson’s Los Angeles workshop. It blends classic styling with modern mechanicals and technology, as well as unparalleled hand-built craftsmanship. If you have been tempted by the prospect of owning a Porsche 911 by Singer, then now is your chance to acquire a rare right-hand drive car in a stunning specification.

Safari-Style 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera





Este Porsche 911 Carrera de 1985 fue comprado por el propietario actual en 2017, y luego fue modificado, según se informa por Vali Motorsports de Corona, California, con una suspensión levantada, llantas todo terreno, placas protectoras, una jaula antivuelco y una diferencial de deslizamiento. El automóvil tiene un acabado en rojo sobre un interior negro que cuenta con arneses de seis puntos, accesorios eléctricos, aire acondicionado y asientos de fibra de carbono tapizados en Alcantara negro. La potencia proviene de un motor de seis cilindros plano de 3.2 litros combinado con una transmisión manual de cinco velocidades. Este 911 modificado ahora es ofrecido por el concesionario vendedor en California en nombre del propietario actual con una rueda de repuesto y una llanta a juego, un informe Carfax limpio y un título de Tennessee limpio.



El coche fue pintado de rojo bajo la propiedad anterior y cuenta con un alerón trasero y un techo corredizo eléctrico. Se agregaron parachoques todoterreno, faldones de barro, una cápsula de luz montada en el capó, placas protectoras delanteras y traseras y un parabrisas de repuesto durante la construcción estilo safari que se completó en octubre de 2020. El vendedor afirma que una combinación de LED y HID Se utilizan elementos de iluminación y se montan luces adicionales en la placa protectora delantera. Los arañazos de pintura se muestran de cerca en la galería a continuación.



Las ruedas Braid de 16 ″ tienen un acabado gris y están envueltas en neumáticos 215/65 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T / A K02. Una rueda de repuesto y una llanta a juego están montadas en un soporte de llantas personalizado fijado a la ventana trasera. Se dice que la suspensión levantada incluye amortiguadores MCS y barras de torsión de repuesto, bujes de suspensión, cojinetes de rueda, ejes y placas de inclinación delanteras. Las pinzas de freno renovadas están montadas sobre rotores de repuesto y se instaló un freno de mano hidráulico Tilton durante la construcción.



El interior cuenta con asientos de fibra de carbono tapizados en Alcantara negro con costuras rojas y montados sobre rieles de asiento ajustables. La cabina también incluye paneles con recubrimiento en polvo, tablas del piso, pedales y una jaula antivuelco de cuatro puntos, junto con arneses Sabelt rojos de seis puntos. Las comodidades incluyen aire acondicionado, seguros eléctricos, ventanas eléctricas y un estéreo de mercado secundario con conectividad USB y Bluetooth. El tablero se recuperó durante la construcción y se quitó el asiento trasero.



El volante MOMO Prototipo enmarca un tacómetro de 7k rpm con un dial rojo VMS Motorsports, así como un velocímetro VDO, un reloj analógico y medidores de temperatura del aceite, presión de aceite, nivel de aceite y nivel de combustible. El odómetro de seis dígitos muestra 127k millas, 1k de las cuales se agregaron durante la propiedad actual.



Según los informes, el seis cilindros de 3,2 litros se volvió a sellar durante la propiedad actual, y el vendedor afirma que el compresor del aire acondicionado y las correas del ventilador se reemplazaron durante la construcción.



La potencia se envía a las ruedas a través de un transeje manual de cinco velocidades y un diferencial de deslizamiento limitado, el último de los cuales se dice que fue instalado por Vali Motorsports.
